Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Making Our Communities More Sustainable

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Zev -- this is such a clever idea!  Even tho' the only thing I appear  
to be able to grow is mold ... I love gardens!  Your Ning page is  
beautiful to boot!

And  you're right:  cohousing communities are in a special position to  
share information like this w/ each other and our larger community.

We have a small herb garden here at TVC.  As always in a consensus  
community I'll have to find out if there are objections to listing it  
on your site.  Many in our community have serious concerns about  
privacy so I want to be especially cognizant of this.  Regardless ...  
this is a great idea!  Keep us up  to date on its success!  (Atho' I  
will visit the site myself!)

She of the black thumb ...

Best --
